Comment:
Clearly is copy+pasting his module assignments from 4+ years back, as some questions do not even make sense in current times. Will arbitrarily take points off assignments without explanation. Grades assignments lazily, as evidenced by him grading them late Sunday night, meanwhile he is very strict with regards to handing in any late work.

I had a 7:30 class with him. He is a soft-spoken teacher and it is very hard to listen to him. He only does 3 major tests in his class. Studying this topic was very hard for me and he did not help in any way. His tests did not cover the material he taught us. Also, his tests were online and I wouldn't recommend this teacher at all.

Comment:
He doesn't write stuff down on the boards so you have to be pay attention and writing down notes. He assigns a whole lot of reading and if you read you might understand a lot of the time the readings are so long and boring. He genuinely knows what he's talking about but if you have him you actually have to try to pass. Curved the midterm+ final.

this class is awful. I only took professor Choi's class as it was given to me as a freshman at the University. His tests are extremely difficult and hard todo well on. I took AP Macro and Ap Micro and high school and I'm still struggling to even do well on his assignments. Luckily he curved the first midterm by 20 points.

Only gives you three tests a semester and if you fail the first you might as well drop. Only offers a couple lectures for extra credit which you only can get a maximum of two points (one for going and one for a very detailed reflection). If you can change professors, I would.

Lectures were interesting despite the dry subject. He assigns 60+ pages to read per week. We are quizzed on 6-7 terms he chooses. A lot of people fail. Extensive writing and presentation assignment. Test is hard and 60% o. So hard. there's typos in the questions. If he says exam will cover only 1 textbooks , you'll find textbook 2 questions.

I took him online, he does not seem very friendly and it's tough to communicate with him! The discussions are okay even though you have to spend a significant amount of time on them! Test are not too difficult! Can't submit anything late he will not accept!

You really need to work for an A in this class. You have to teach yourself literally everything for the 2 tests. He was nice enough to curve the midterm since everyone did poorly. He does offer some extra credit such as writing essays on guest lectures. 1 group project. Midterm and final add up to 85% of your course grade. Find study guides online.

If you can, just take an online class. For the midterm, I pretty much just taught myself from the textbook. He takes attendance so you have to go to class althougn it is a huge waste of your time.

midterm, final, group paper/presentation, attendance are all he grades you on. 85% of your grade is from final and midterm. He does not explain topics that well. Softspoken and uses many examples in class. His graphs and explanations confuse me. He curves the midterm. I got a 99 because he gave everyone 20 points. Boring class but he is fair

Smart man. In my experience with taking Micro-econ with him, I decided to listen what he was saying instead of how he was saying it, and I learned much more. The only thing is that he's kind of anal about attendance, but overall, he really knows what he's talking about.

This class was not good. He is a smart man but talks for the whole class about nothing that is of use. The test is hard and is from the textbook WHICH he doesn't teach out of. No review no outline, you basically have to guess. Not an easy A unless you can memorize 6 chapters at a time. Basically had to teach myself.

The whole lecture he talks and doesnt try to engage the class, and barely teaches. You're better off teaching yourself. He gave us a paper/presentation assignment worth 10% , 5% for participation/attendance and 35% for the midterm, 50% is the final (cumulative). Not nearly enough assignments to get a good grade if you do poorly on one of the tests
